The Raaft Commitment to Environmental Sustainability

As we strive to become a global market leader, we recognise our responsibility to provide roof terrace and podium systems that support these goals and to contribute towards a better environment for the future of our communities.

All Raaft products are developed and manufactured with the environment at their heart, using materials chosen for their

• durability – to reduce the frequency of replacement due to damage or wear and tear
• renewability – to decrease the use of finite natural resources
• proximity – to reduce carbon footprint before, during and after manufacture
• recyclability – to ensure a high percentage can be reprocessed at the end of the products’ lifespan

We are committed to achieving net-zero carbon emissions across all our commercial operations.

We are also currently working on achieving ISO14001 certification (set to be complete in 2022) to ensure our environmental management systems are in effect.

1. We are currently testing a new, more sustainable material for our planter systems.
2. We use waste from our products such as timber scraps, to create ‘bug hotels’ in our terrace planters. We hope to re-introduce biodiversity on terraces in cities through doing this.
3. We are reducing plastic on our packaging by swapping plastic tape with paper tape.
4. We are looking into sourcing materials from local suppliers to reduce our carbon emissions.
5. We use recycled plastic lumber for our bench seating.
